If there's a universal fluid that specifically mentions the Subaru CVT compatibility, I'd get that to save money.When I buy the new transmission CVT fluid, is it worth it to get the Subaru stuff?

What's the price difference on them? If it specifically doesn't mention that trans, it doesn't count as an alternative.When I buy the new transmission CVT fluid, is it worth it to get the Subaru stuff?
I don't even think that I can know that. Since the manual says to never change it, there is no spec in there.Yeah buy whatever fluid meets the subaru spec, valvoline or castrol or whatever's cheap at the auto parts store.

The oil will have compatibility info on it.I don't even think that I can know that. Since the manual says to never change it, there is no spec in there.
That doesn't list a spec...2012 Outback - CVT Transmission Fluid
Hello, I recently bought a 2012 Subaru Outback Premium with the 2.5i CVT. After going over all my fluids, I discovered that there was no way to check the transmission fluid. Upon looking it up in the book, it says that it does not need changing, or something along those lines. The car has 125k...www.subaruoutback.org

You're bad at internet lately old man
Not trying to second guess you because it looks like you bought quality stuff but I thought the subaru cvt had a chain and not a "belt" in the CVT?
Great pics and tutorial!
Well in my case, the dude comes to my house, so I'd like to have the best, cost effective fluid ready for him.The oil will have compatibility info on it.
Not to sound snooty (though I'm sure it will), I'd take the job to my transmission guy (who does the flush on the Infiniti every 30k), and have him figure out the compatibility.

You're just trying to avoid the markup that he would apply if he picked them (and consequently assuming the liability )Well in my case, the dude comes to my house, so I'd like to have the best, cost effective fluid ready for him.
I'll just pick up 6 or so quarts of this stuff at Advance. Thanks!this stuff mentions Subaru compatibility specifically, and I would have no heartburn running it.
I'm actually not. And when we were talking about replacing the valve body, he was gonna drive me to the dealer to pay for it. Be nicer robot.You're just trying to avoid the markup that he would apply if he picked them (and consequently assuming the liability )
The Eneos or Valvoline linked will do fine, and you don't have to go get reamed at the subaru dealership or pay $15/quart online.Clear as mud!
I'd be cool with any of those. +1 for being able to haul something beyond what a regular sedan or whatever can.The Corolla is one we’ve been looking at for sure. So far Kia Souls have been the strongest contender (surprisingly reliable) and I’ve been pushing Scion xB and Honda CR-Vs and Civics.
